Marrow Cleansing Pill?
Seeing the effects of the item, Ye Chuan's heart began to race. Perhaps because he had increased Bai QianShuang's favorability, he had received a rarer item, especially after reading the description…
Could his heart disease be cured?
Heart failure was an incurable terminal illness, manageable only with dication. But the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill gave Ye Chuan a glimr of hope for the first ti.
As Ye Chuan was lost in thought, Luo Xi waved her slender hand in front of his face.
"What's wrong, ChuanChuan? Why are you staring blankly at your phone?"
She leaned in closer, curious, but only saw the ho screen; there was nothing else.
"Nothing," Ye Chuan said, snapping back to reality. His mind was on the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his backpack.
He asked Luo Xi, "When are you going ho?"
Luo Xi froze, pointing at herself. "Are… are you kicking out?"
She had co over early in the morning to buy groceries and cook, and after eating his fill, this guy was actually sending her ho, not even asking her if she wanted to stay for tea.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi puffed out her cheeks and stomped her foot angrily.
"Scumbag!"
She bit Ye Chuan's wrist, then turned and ran off in a huff. "I'm going ho now! I won't disturb you two!!"
"Wait…"
The sound of the door slamming echoed from the distance. Luo Xi had already run off.
Ye Chuan looked out the window and saw the girl's white legs flashing as she ran, her ponytail swaying in the wind.
She had even left her bag behind in her haste.
Bai QianShuang was still in the dining room. Seeing Luo Xi suddenly call Ye Chuan a scumbag and run off, she didn't understand what had happened and tilted her head, puzzled.
"Ye Chuan, what does 'scumbag' an? Is Miss Luo angry?"
Ye Chuan's lips twitched. "Uh, she was praising ."
Bai QianShuang nodded in understanding, then said to Ye Chuan very seriously,
"Ye Chuan, you really are a scumbag. And thank you both for the al."
Seeing Bai QianShuang using the new word so quickly, Ye Chuan pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Go back to your room and cultivate. I'll bring you so snacks later."
"I…" Bai QianShuang was about to say that she didn't need to eat, but rembering the snacks she had devoured last night, her words changed.
"Thank you, scumbag."
Ye Chuan: "..."
He shouldn't have taught her that word. It seed Bai QianShuang was a quick learner, especially when it ca to things she shouldn't be learning.
…
After Bai QianShuang returned to her room to cultivate, Ye Chuan hurried back to his own room to use the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
After sending Luo Xi a ssage to clear up the misunderstanding, he took the pill out of his backpack.
It was dark gold and emitted a faint dicinal fragrance. As Ye Chuan held it between his fingers, his heart raced.
Without hesitation, he swallowed it.
Unlike the other pills, the Marrow Cleansing Pill wasn't unpleasant. The mont it entered his mouth, a refreshing mint-like flavor spread across his tongue, followed by a strong, sweet, and tallic taste.
Ye Chuan had expected it to be disgusting, but the taste was surprisingly acceptable, perhaps because his expectations were so low.
As the dicinal power transford into a warm current flowing through his body, he felt his ridians and bones changing, his whole body cracking and popping.
The process was incredibly painful; every part of his body ached, his bones feeling like they were being twisted and bent.
Ye Chuan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his face pale. His ridians were constantly being cleansed, waves of pain washing over him.
After several hours, he finally opened his eyes, his voice filled with disbelief.
"It worked?"
The pain was completely gone, replaced by an indescribable lightness, as if his body had been reset.
The tightness in his chest was gone, and the breathlessness had completely disappeared. Ye Chuan felt his pulse; his heartbeat was strong and steady, filling him with joy.
He… was cured?
Was his heart disease really cured?
Before Ye Chuan could fully assess his condition, he noticed a layer of black, foul-slling sludge on his hand and arm.
Looking down, he saw that his entire body was covered in this greasy black substance. If soone said he had fallen into a sewer, they would probably be believed.
"Ugh—" The sll almost made Ye Chuan gag, and he imdiately rushed into the bathroom.
He looked like he had crawled out of a mud pit, his teeth and eyes the only bright spots on his dark, grimy body.
Ye Chuan turned on the shower and tried to wash off the mud.
Although the temperature of the solar-heated water was unpredictable, Ye Chuan, with his fire spiritual root, didn't feel the heat at all and continued rinsing himself.
After over an hour, Ye Chuan finally washed off all the gri, leaving a black ss on the bathroom floor.
He dried himself with a towel, then paused, noticing the hook where he usually hung his towel.
After comparing his height to the hook, Ye Chuan froze.
"Huh? Did I get taller?" Ye Chuan walked to the mirror and realized that he seed to have grown taller.
And his skin looked translucent, healthy, and rosy, like a baby's skin. His eyes were bright and clear.
"Did I get more handso?" Ye Chuan examined himself from all angles.
Probably not.
He was already handso; this was just the icing on the cake.
Ye Chuan picked up his phone and checked his information—
[Landlord: Ye Chuan
Status: Good
Skills: Eastern Hua Sword Technique, First-Rate Immortal Manual…

…]
[Sudden Side Mission: Defeat Huang Haotian]
Ye Chuan looked away from his phone screen and placed his hand on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat. "It's good…"
The Marrow Cleansing Pill had truly cured him.
He had been given a new lease on life.
After calming down, Ye Chuan exhaled and noticed the black ss on the bathroom floor.
"I should clean the bathroom first, and install a shower head."
He also needed to find Luo Xi.
She had run off in such a hurry that Ye Chuan hadn't even had ti to put on any clothes.
As he was about to head back to his room naked, he heard a sound from the next room.
Bai QianShuang walked out. The mont their eyes t, the girl froze, staring at Ye Chuan.
"I… forgot to grab my clothes," Ye Chuan mumbled.
"..." Bai QianShuang pretended she hadn't seen anything, stepped back, and closed the door.
(SHMOLL: I need that pill too. I am short as hell. Calling YC brother- do do do)
